The man’s body language, choice of words, and decision on what was appropriate are absolutely chilling.
I don’t agree with anyone shooting anyone else, ever. But I totally disagree that cops should decide to be judge, jury, and executioner while in a state of panic.

In dense neighborhood where any shot he fires could hit a civilian .. EX500rider Friday #1

Maybe there should be a real investigation of this Redleg Friday #2

Well the part we do know... EX500rider Friday #3

The copcops should be charged if true. No police officer should be immune from charges -.. riversedge Friday #4

So he's shooting at police after killing one, they shoot back and kill him that's okay EX500rider Friday #5

This is where you lost me: CozyMystery Friday #6

As long as the politely armed shooter was run down by a politely driven vehicle taxi Friday #7

IMO, accountability count way more than any kind of "punishment," lethal or otherwise. usonian Friday #8
